Our wheat markets will be done.

See wheat on list of US exports proposed to be subject to China retaliatory tariffs.
Might open the door to increased Canada exports to China.
Happened in early 1960s when Diefenbaker govt and wheat board sold wheat to China.
Helped lower our surplus and raised price for us.
Could also be good news for Australian growers.

The US can supply the premium Japanese market while we discount into China. See everybody wins. The whole story still reeks of BS as what oil company has workers that have even heard of the CFIA. We got set up, but my who?

Actually, June 14th musta been a bit of a party after the “initial shock” wore off at that meeting . 💰💰💰for many years to come .
Sometimes a hand just needs to be forced eh ?
End of the day let’s hope all this B/S does not put our wheat into the toilet for long

A full scale investigation is needed here.
If anyone is involved with this setup of these 7 SEEDS there should be stiff prison sentences for the loss of income farmers will face.

IF, and it's a big IF, those seeds became glyphos resistant from repeated yearly low dose exposure(reseeded themselves), then that should be considered a naturally occurring species variant of wheat, and not a Genetically Modified species of wheat. Not so different from the plant breeding that has taken place for a hundred years, prior to the time gene slicing started. If it developed naturally, then it's not a GMO.

Whether that makes any difference to importing countries like Japan, is another matter.

Farmers and ranchers have picked up the bill for the BSE and the triffid mess why would anyone think they won't pick up the bill for this as well..

It's just good business....right?

Kansas wheat down 17 to 19 cents on nearer month futures.
Hope it does not cause friction on Canada-US border.

This is Monsanto’s baby no matter how you look at it , they are responsible.
Class action lawsuit from every single farmer in Canada that grows wheat should be in the works if this causes more than just a minor short term trade issue .

What is process now? Should farmers and general public be sending or calling CFIA every time we spot a plant that escapes chemfallow or roadside burn off? How are we to be sure there isn't more out there?
